The family kit is a set of 10 essential oils, 6 single oils and 4 blends. These oil shave been acrefully selected, to ensure you get the most fro your oils. Healing, health properties, cleansing and cleaning for your home. Endless benefits.
We will go deeper into each oil and a few of their properties in just a minute.
Frankincense (Boswellia) is known as the 'king' of oils due to its powerful healing properties that are effective and incredibly therapeutic!
There are endless health benefits of frankincense essential oils, many of those benefits have been many backed by science.
Many studies conducted on various types of cancers and Frankincense essential oil. All studies show that Frankincense oil stopped progression and in some cases also shrunk the tumor cells! One study on breast cancer showed with the addition of geranium and pine needle oil the cancer cells were destroyed (Study) Another study conducted on pancreatic cancer cells, showed Frankincense caused death to these cells too (study)! A study carried out on bladder cancer also showed the death of cancerous bladder cells whilst not causing any harm to healthy cells! 'Frankincense oil appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability. Microarray and bioinformatics analysis proposed multiple pathways that can be activated by frankincense oil to induce bladder cancer cell death. Frankincense oil might represent an alternative intravesical agent for bladder cancer treatment.'
(Study)
The sesquiterpenes in Frankincense enable it to go beyond the blood-brain barrier. This is believed to be one of the reasons why it helps those with brain injuries and Alzheimer's because it improves cognitive health and responses. One study conducted on elder men who took frankincense for 4 weeks shows 'This study revealed that 4 weeks of frankincense consumption facilitates the acquisition and retention of motor memory in older men with moderate mental status.' (Study)
Another healing property of frankincense is the relief of muscle and joint pain and inflammation. (Study). This is one of the benefits I have personally experienced first-hand! I use Frankincense to treat Osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia pain along with inflammation! (Study) As well as my personal experience there have also been studies on rats with osteoarthritis, using Frankincense extracts to treat inflammation and pain (study).
Another top benefit of Frankincense is its immune-enhancing abilities and germ prevention! (study) Another study that broke down the oil's compounds found 'Biologically, the oil exhibited a strong immunostimulant activity (90% lymphocyte transformation) when assessed by a lymphocyte proliferation assay.'(Study) The list of healing properties Frankincense possesses really is endless!
Another healing property of Frankincense is its ability to bring about feelings of peace and relaxation, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression (Study).
As well as bringing healing to your physical, emotional and energetic body, Frankincense also brings properties that can help minimise stretch marks, scars and wrinkles! There has been a couple of studies done on photoaging- (sun-damaged, ageing skin) ( 1, 2).
#magicinabottle All these healing properties from one plant!
Lavender Essential Oil is known as the 'Queen' of oils. Used for THOUSANDS of years for its healing properties for body, mind and soul. Science is starting to back up what our ancestors already knew!
Anxiety disorders are one of the most common psychiatric disorders, with potentially life-altering symptoms. Many medications that are prescribed for anxiety seem to not quite hit the spot, not being effective enough for some people, whilst causing horrendous side effects and acidosis to others. Lavender essential oil is shown to be as effective, in some cases, more effective than synthetic medications. One study concluded ' Lavender essential oil exhibits many desirable properties of an anxiolytic agent, including a calming effect without sedation, as well as a lack of dependence, tolerance, or withdrawal. Evidence from multiple high-quality randomized trials suggests a role for SLO in the treatment of anxiety disorders. The favourable safety and efficacy profile of SLO makes it a reasonable alternative to consider in patients with anxiety disorders (Study) (and another)
Lavender has been used to help with sleep for a long long time! In my personal experience, Lavender essential oils, helped my daughter to sleep! Every night we would have the same 'routine' at bedtime she would feel the need to tell me a thousand stories from that need, she would need 10 toilet trips an hour and would sing and chat to herself for hours at bedtime! I decided to diffuse lavender essential oil in her bedroom 10 minutes before bedtime and 5 drops of oil to Epsom salts in her bath. The first night of this new routine was like magic! Within 10 minutes of being in bed, she was asleep! Actually sleeping with a little snore and everything! I was convinced it was a one-off, a fluke! But no, the next night, and the next, same again! She was asleep within 10 minutes of getting into bed! Studies confirm the quality of sleep improved in those who added lavender oil to their daily routine! (study).
Lavender oil is also promising as a natural antihistamine! Although studies have only been conducted in rats and mice, humans are taking it upon themselves to be the trials with lavender oil and all are reporting excellent results. Lavender oil has already been proven to be non-toxic to humans, so is safe to try out. My daughter uses lavender oil as part of a mix for a natural antihistamines. (study)
Another power of lavender oil is its ability to help ease pain. This has been seen in children with burns (study) It has also been shown to help reduce pain in premature infants. It is safe and low cost; it does not interfere with medical care.(study)
There is still more! A study into hypertension showed mixing Lavender, Ylang- Ylang and bergamot together, inhaling once a day for 4 weeks 'The results suggest that the inhalation method using essential oils can be considered an effective nursing intervention that reduces psychological stress responses and serum cortisol levels, as well as the blood pressure of clients with essential hypertension.' (study1, 2)
Headaches relief is another use for lavender essential oil. This is a popular remedy for headaches and migraines in our family home. One that gives relief within 5 minutes! Lavender inhalation can be used alone with great results (study) or by applying one drop to the temple!
Although more studies need to be carried out for wound healing, there is sevidence that lavender oil also promotes healing of open wounds. Other studies show lavender oil to be safe to use direct on skin (see links above), even for children! (study)
Peppermint essential oil is one of the oldest European herbs used for medicinal purposes. Possibly due to its huge variety of healing properties!
In 2007 a study was conducted to see the results peppermint oil had on IBS. in just 4 weeks 75% of the group, showed a massive 50% decrease in IBS symptoms including abdominal bloating, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, constipation and pain during 'elimination' (study)
As mentioned above, lavender oil is amazing for headaches and migraines, for an extra 'kick' add a drop of peppermint onto the temples onto of the lavender oil (lavender first so you don't get such a tingle from the peppermint)! Your headache won't know what's hit it! This potion has worked 100% of the time on family and friends! (study1) (2) (3)
Peppermint oil also helps reduce pain and relaxes muscles by reducing inflammation (study). This is in a similar way in which peppermint helps with IBS, by relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation (study).
Peppermint is also a natural energy booster! Any time I need a pick-me-up, I have one drop of peppermint or a peppermint beadlet, and within 10 minutes I have a new lease of energy! Mentally and physically! Although studies on fighting mental and physical fatigue using peppermint are currently not a thing, they have been tested on rats, which confirms a big improvement in mental activity! (study)
Because peppermint contains anti-microbial properties it kills bacteria that lead to cavities and gum disease. You can add one drop to your toothpaste or mouthwash. You can also make your own, fluoride-free toothpaste! We make this in our home! Therapeutic-grade peppermint oil is proven to be non-toxic and safe to use orally (study)
Peppermint also helps to reduce allergies (study) by relaxing the muscle passages and clearing out of mucus and pollen during allergy season. For an extra potent mix add with lemon and lavender oils! You can diffuse, apply topically or ingest (check your oils are safe to be ingested, before ingesting!)
Lemon essential oil is a popular one in our home and one that my 10-year-old is often drawn to. Lemon essential oil is another essential oil that has endless health benefits for your mind, body and soul!
Ayurvedic - the oldest healing system used for thousands of years - practitioners use lemon to treat a wide range of health conditions and is also used in Chinese medicine.
In 2014 a study found that lemon oil aromatherapy reduced nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. (study)
Lemon oil has also been shown to be a safe and effective way of reducing toxins in our food supply, replacing injecting antibiotics into cattle, and using lemon oil as a natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agent. (study) (2) (3) (4)
This magical oil is also looking promising as an anti-cancer oil. It has been shown to reduce lung cancer cells (study)
Lemon essential oil is proven to help reduce stress (study), therefore helping to improve mood, concentration and combat addiction! Another shows Lemon oil may help with depression due to its high contents of the compound limonene (study)
Research suggests that lemon oil may also be useful for those suffering from cognitive dysfunction including memory and may help those with Alzheimer's (study)
Lemon and its oil are known for their ability to help cleanse and detox your body. It is also used to simulate lymphatic drainage and reduces swelling in lymph nodes and improves blood flow (EOAM)
Lemon oil also helps to relieve congestion and eliminate mucus. It can also slow a runny nose. (study)
There is also evidence to show lemon essential oils help to reduce gallstone size to pass easier. (study) It has been used throughout history for this reason, supporting the liver naturally.
As lemon essential oil has anti-bacterial properties and helps the body to flush out toxins that could lead to illness and disease. This gives your body a natural immune boost! Using therapeutic-grade oils you can add a drop of lemon a day to your water and reap its benefits.
As a natural anti-bacterial, and anti-viral you can make your own, toxic-free cleaning products. Such as surface disinfectant, all-purpose cleaner and also as a polish to shine wood. Just add a few drops to some olive oil to clean and protect the wood.
Oregano has been used for over 2,500 years as a popular medical remedy. Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician and the father of western medicine, used Oregano as an antiseptic for treating respiratory and digestive diseases. Ancient Greeks believed oregano was a useful poison antidote and used it extensively to treat skin infections, sore throats, wounds and viral infections. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have also used oregano for generations to treat diarrhoea, parasites and fungal infections.
Modern science confirms our ancestor's intuitive healing remedies. Oregano contains carvacrol and thymol, two powerful compounds with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. In one study, 20 clinical strains of bacteria were tested on patients with different clinical conditions. Oregano oil was active against all tested strains. It even proved to be effective in the prevention of antibiotic-resistant strains from developing! (study). A study conducted in 2014 confirms that Oregano also has powerful anti-viral properties against non-enveloped murine norovirus, a human norovirus surrogate, in some cases 'killing' the virus within an hour of exposure to oregano oil (study)
I have used oregano oil on my family a few times. One of which my daughter had her ears pierced, she was at school at the time and had to keep covering her ears with plasters. The heat and moisture were the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. She ended up with an infected ear piercing. Inflamed and tender to the touch. I removed the earring, squeezed out the pus then mixed up a potion of coconut oil and oregano oil. We covered the ear in oil, cleaned the earring (she was desperate for them to not need to be taken out) popped the earring back in. By the morning her ear was 'normal' with no pain, no inflammation and no visible signs of infection! Potent stuff without side effects on your tummies good bacteria!
Another healing property of oregano essential oil is its ability to battle yeast and fungal overgrowth such as candida. (study). Another study shows Oregano oil actually works better than drugs regularly prescribed for a candida overgrowth (study).
UTIs have been a common occurrence for my mum in the past. Her last one around two years ago had her in agony for weeks. She had been prescribed two lots of antibiotics by her GP, within 3 weeks and with no relief. My mum took Oregano oil instead, after 5 days her UTI had completely cleared up, and she had zero side effects! There have been studies done into UTIs and oregano oil with great results (study).
As well as UTIs Oregano oil has also been shown to be a natural remedy for other types of bacterial infections and virals such as pneumonia and bronchitis. (study).
Oregano also shows signs of fighting off intestinal worms and parasites. Therapeutic oregano oil can be consumed internally to treat these. (study)
As well as the benefits above, there are even more health benefits to oregano essential oil, too many to list! But here is the last one I am sharing with you today. Due to its anti-fungal properties (study), oregano is a natural toxic-free treatment for eradicating mould from around your home! Add 5 to 7 drops to a homemade cleaning solution, along with tea tree and lavender oil then spray, leave and wipe. (make sure you use the correct PPE when disturbing the mould spores).
Thyme essential oil is literal magic... Used for thousands of years, known as a 'herbal superhero' thyme has been used for body, mind and soul. It was used as protection and thought to be a sign of courage. It was given as gifts between roman soldiers as a sign of respect. They also believe that eating Thyme before eating a meal would stop them from being poisoned. The Greeks and Romans used to burn Thyme in their temples to purify and rid of negative energy.
Scientists investigated 120 strains of bacteria isolated from patients with various infections from within a hospital environment. The results showed that the Greeks and Romans knew then, what we are only just discovering. Thyme oil has an extremely strong activity against all strains of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains! (study).
A study on lung cancer cells showed Thyme essential oil to be effective in killing off the cells. done using Thyme to reduce inflammation in the lung tissue of rabbits, showed; 'Overall, our findings indicate for the first time that thyme oil can ameliorate OVA-induced BA via its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antioxidant effects on the lung tissues of rabbits.' (study). Thyme is not just a top choice for respiratory inflammation but also for neuroinflammation which is responsible for several diseases of the central nervous system. A study done into the effects of Thyme oil and neuroinflammation showed, 'Thyme essential oils are good candidates to use in the prevention of neuroinflammation and related neurodegeneration,' (study). Another study carried out on general inflammation and toxicity, confirmed Thyme's anti-inflammatory properties and even at the higher dose, is not toxic! (study). A study conducted using Thyme and Oregano to treat colitis showed 'results indicate that combined treatment with appropriate concentrations of thyme and oregano essential oils can reduce the production of proinflammatory cytokines, and thereby attenuate TNBS-induced colitis' (study)
Thyme essential oil is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, spasmolytic and expectorant, so it helps quell bronchitis and spasmodic cough, helping to lessen respiratory conditions, including bacterial buildup in the system.
Thyme helps treat intestinal infections and bacterial infections of the genitals and urethra. (study)
Thyme boosts skin health by protecting the skin from harmful bacteria and fungal infections. It can treat acne, wounds, cuts, rashes and scars. A powerful antioxidant to help prevent ageing too! (study)
According to the book 'Essential oils ancient medicine' by Dr Josh Axr, Ty Bollinger and Jordan Rubin Thyme has further healing properties and uses including;
Calming of IBS, Crohn's and colitis symptoms by mixing one drop of each, thyme, roman chamomile, peppermint, ginger and frankincense and taken daily with breakfast and dinner!
It also promotes healthy hormone balance thanks to its progesterone-balancing properties. Thyme oil may also help with some menopause symptoms such as mood swings, hot flushes and insomnia! (study).
Thyme also serves as a natural insect repellent keeping away the pesky bugs that feed on the body such as mosquitoes, fleas, lice and bed bugs. It also keeps away moths and beetles.
Thyme oil should be avoided during pregnancy as the oil is an emmenagogue (stimulates blood flow to the pelvic area). People with high blood pressure or epilepsy should avoid high doses of thyme oil or consult with a professional to monitor/ reduce synthetic medication under supervision.
